Love the staff and the atmosphere at The Carpenter’s Arms. Simon and his team are so welcoming and accommodating and the food is delicious and fairly priced. The onglet is simply superb!

The Carpenter’s Arms is by far the best pub in Chiswick/ Hammersmith, and beyond. This is NOT pub grub. What you get is a seriously delicious, considered and beautifully presented plate of food. Veggies and meat-eaters are well catered to, and the service is exceptional. From the freshly baked focaccia to the seasonal dishes (even the kids’ cheesy pasta), everything is on point. Lunch at The Carpenter’s on a wintery day - with the log fire burning - is perfection.

Rustic, not much of a Sunday lunch menu, but friendly attentive staff

Table location was rather disappointing. Right by kitchen and they kept switching on a blinding light. Rather cramped as table for two but we were a party of three.
